I don't believe that the patch as-proposed is necessary or reasonable.
The case of node->eflags == 0 is reachable; I don't know why David's
test didn't see this, but when I try asserting the contrary I get
a regression crash on
(gdb) p debug_query_string
$1 = 0x1d03160 "explain (costs off) declare c1 scroll cursor for select (select
42) as x;"
The reason that the subsequent bit of code is safe is that !forward
should not possibly be true unless EXEC_FLAG_BACKWARD was given,
which'd cause us to create a tuplestore. So if we were going
to change anything, I'd propose adding something more like
if (!forward && eof_tuplestore)
{
+ Assert(node->eflags & EXEC_FLAG_BACKWARD);
if (!node->eof_underlying)
{
/*
or perhaps more directly, Assert that tuplestore is not null.
But I don't like the proposed patch because if tuplestore is
null here, something's wrong, and we should complain not
silently mask the problem.
